どういたしまして。
Dōitashimashite.
You’re welcome.
- Word for word
- “How could I have done anything?”
- Politeness: Polite
- です/ます style. The safe default with strangers, shop staff and colleagues.
- When you would say it
- Replying to a thank you.
- Worth knowing
- Real speakers often reply いえいえ instead; どういたしまして can sound a little stiff.
